1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Post-aortic left brachiocephalic vein (PALBV) is one of the rare congenital vessel abnormalities associated with congenital heart disease. As only a few reports of surgical treatment for thymic tumor in patients with PALBV are available, this study reports the case of a patient with PALBV who underwent surgical treatment for thymoma. In a 60-year old woman, a nodule in the anterior mediastinum was detected on chest computed tomography (CT) during examination for arrhythmia. Thymoma was suspected, and surgical resection was considered. PALBV was detected on a contrast CT scan before surgery. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was used to perform thymectomy using the subxiphoid dual-port approach. This method provided an appropriate view of the operative field and made it easy to confirm the presence of PALBV and identify the thymic veins branching off from the internal thoracic vein.
